Toos Answers Best - He said, "You crossed the road to catch drivers going the direction you want to travel in. Right?" Yes, that is right, but the motivation is so I can cross the road on foot, choose when I cross, and not allow a Taxi to cross traffic. I consider intersections very dangerous, and sometimes on Moto taxis, I even get off, walk across, and get back on the same taxi. Foresigh anticiplation in countries like this is horrible, they will pull out in front of cars. The do not count on the fact, that is their taxi stall for any reason we would be hit. Plus, in about 170 countries, they always look at corners a yield signs and refuse to ever stop. Here, they will actually turn and drive down the road the wrong way, then cross over to avoid coming to a dead stop. Mostly, I do it for safety, but to make any taxi do a U-turn is not saavy. Thanks.
